A very comfy stay!
The cabin is an authentic log cabin with exposed logs on walls and stairs and an open living area. The entry is on the second floor along with one bedroom and bathroom. There is a view of Lake Kalamazoo from both the deck and secluded screened in sitting porch. The cabin is located at the top of the hill in a quiet part of the Saugatuck neighborhood. It’s a walkable distance to downtown and a short drive to Douglas. The hosts were very responsive and provided what we needed for a comfortable stay.

Wonderful little “log cabin in the woods!”… yet super close to downtown !
We loved the location of this authentic cabin in that you could walk or drive to Saugutauck so easily. Nestled in a neighborhood , this cozy cabin offered the amenities with cozy decor, back deck for cocktails or reading. Perfect for ladies getaway . The only reason I gave a 4 out of 5 was because description didn’t mention stairs right upon entering the cabin that were necessary to get to main living area. To be fair It does show them , we just didn't ask about this advance so our fault. If you have a few mobility issues in your party just know in advance to plan . Still a wonderful charming place to stay with all of the amenities and comfy beds! The area is beautiful! The only other suggestion I would make is lighting above table to play cards but that could be our age too! 😊

Price not worth it. Spontaneous Trip with Hubby.
It's old, it's musty, it's a bit odd. You don't get a sense of the look of the cabin by the pictures at all. The bedrooms are so small that the beds are full size. Not a whole lot of room to put your belongings. My husband and I who are not large people by any means, were on top of each other while trying to sleep. It was so uncomfortable. The second bedroom which is on street level is about the same size. We didn't stay in that room. The full bathroom is on the street level of the cabin, so you are climbing stairs. There is a super small bathroom in the main floor bedroom, so that helped with all the stair climbing.I read all the reviews, most saying it was nice, close to downtown. That part is true, it is close, but the town isn't that big or far from the water. The porches are not relaxing. You walk off the street to a front porch a few steps down, enter the cabin to a full flight of stairs down again to the main floor areas and 2nd bedroom. The back porch off the kitchen is a table & 4 chairs, nothing really comfortable to sit at. The small stairs down to the grill are steep. The grilling area has no room to stand. There is not fire pit area, hot tub etc. Which for the price, should offer something. The cabin is located on a beautiful street with well maintained homes around it, with beautiful fire pit areas, parking, etc. This cabin you are parking on the street with a permit The cabin itself feels like it is being swallowed whole by vegetation. Not worth it at all.

What a wonderfully warm and cozy cabin! Such a great location in a quiet neighborhood yet very close to all the action of downtown Saugatuk. There was so much to do and see, shopping and eating was fantastic, and then go back to the cabin and nestle in the trees to rest before the next adventure. Highly recommend for a comfy getaway!!

Charming property nestled into a gorgeous wooded area within walking distance of town. Easy parking and check-in/check-out. Super clean, spacious cottage with comfy beds and various spaces to just hang out. Loved both the deck and the upstairs screen porch. Had everything we needed to cook and other thoughtful amenities. Host was super responsive.

Great location, cozy cabin
Our hosts were 5 star responsive. The cabin was super charming and rustic. Kitchen had everything we needed and full bath was updated and functional. The outdoor spaces were great.
I would call out just two things..The cabin entrance is on the second floor, so a full flight of stairs down to living area. Could be an issue for someone with mobility limitations. Also, just be aware that there are no closets or hangers, but lots of hooks. A lovely setting and great location.

Quaint Cabin walking distance from town.
This cabin is tucked up in the hills which gives some privacy and seclusion, yet an easy 10 or so minute walk into town. Property is clean and layout is open and spacious. Loved relaxing in the screened in porch at the end of the day, with the luscious greenery from the trees all around us. Property host was always responsive within minutes. Overall this was a perfect spot to stay for my girlfriend and I for a 3 day get away for some shopping, eating, beach time and an amazing yoga/dinner at Hook. I highly recommend this property. Would be great for a family of 4 to 6 or 2 couples as well. We will be back!

What a beautiful, peaceful nest in the woods. We loved our week here, from the breezes on the screened porch to the soft bedding on perfectly cool nights to the addictively comfortable living room chairs and sofa. It's a perfect escape. Katie is a promptly responsive hostess, with information and recommendations that made a terrific week even better. The photos and description on this site are accurate. The cabin in the woods is a real find!

It’s a beautiful property in a great location. My husband and I spent our honeymoon in this cabin 50 years ago we were pleasantly surprised to find that it was listed on VRBO and jumped on the opportunity to stay there 50 years later and find it was still had the same charm it had 50 years ago with modern improvements! The inn keepers made our arrival very special to celebrate our anniversary! thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
